New students will not be issued a physical card and can only use a Mobile ID. Remember, the Mobile ID is a privilege and benefit of being part of the Southeast Technical College community. Anyone found to be misusing their physical card or Mobile ID will be subject to the applicable Code of Conduct or HR policies regarding fraud and/or misconduct. 

If you don't have an Android or iPhone or your phone doesn't have NFC you can request a physical ID card here.

Faculty and staff should contact HR to request updates. Once changes are completed, the updates will sync to the Mobile ID on your phone within 48 hours.
